RE: I don't think so

I never understood the purpose of emoticons until I ran into you. You do know my first post was being ironic? It was motivated by the John Wayne post here.

But mostly it was motivated by silly actors who tell David Letterman, or whoever, that they did their own stunts when world-class athlete Jet Li would never do stunts, or take credit for it. Jet does martial arts. The reason Jet doesn't do stunts is just because he is a world-class athlete and reasonably successful actor. He doesn't have to. Stuntmen are at the bottom of the food chain. Why would a reasonably successful actor strive to become a stuntman?

As for definition? There's none. The closest to a definition stunt is whenever the actor is being doubled. Injuries (like a broken leg during the shooting of Once Upon a Time in China) have forced Jet to use stuntmen/doubles many times.
